Jes Sorensen 1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

David Howells b0e15190ea [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.

The following changes are made:

 (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
     allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
     code.

 (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
     the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
     attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

 (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

Mike Waychison ae7817745e [PATCH] ipc: add generic struct ipc_ids seq_file iteration
The following two patches convert /proc/sysvipc/* to use seq_file.

This gives us the following:

 - Self-consistent IPC records in proc.
 - O(n) reading of the files themselves.

This patch:

Add a generic method for ipc types to be displayed using seq_file.  This
patch abstracts out seq_file iterating over struct ipc_ids into ipc/util.c

Stephen Rothwell 202e5979af [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t
When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)).  This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.

	compat type		type in compat arch
	__compat_[ug]id_t	__kernel_[ug]id_t
	__compat_[ug]id32_t	__kernel_[ug]id32_t
	compat_[ug]id_t		[ug]id_t

The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

Ingo Molnar 00a5dfdb93 [PATCH] Fix semundo lock leakage
semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while
another thread has it locked.  This causes major problems for PREEMPT
kernels.

The simplest fix for now is to undo the single-thread optimization.

This bug was found via relentless testing by Dominik Karall.

Patrick noticed that the initial scan of the semaphore operations logs
decrease and increase operations seperately, but then both cases are or'ed
together and decrease is never used.  The attached patch removes the
decrease parameter - it shrinks sys_semtimedop() by 56 bytes.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
